Hello, I'm Anthony Waye. I'm a DevOps/Platform Engineer with 10+ years of experience. I enjoy using automation to solve problems in order to achieve scalable outcomes.
About me
I've harbored a keen interest in all things related to computers throughout my career. Fortunately, I've had the privilege of gaining invaluable real-world experience in diverse settings, catering to both companies and clients across different levels of sophistication.
Historically, my role has predominantly been as a Windows-based Engineer, specializing in automating solutions within the Windows environment. This has entailed delving into the entire Windows stack, providing me with a comprehensive understanding of virtually every Microsoft product.
However, my engagement extends beyond the Windows realm, as I regularly navigate Linux-based tools. Given that a significant portion of DevOps tooling is rooted in Linux, I've become well-versed in these tools even within the Windows landscape. In my most recent professional endeavor, I embraced a notable shift into a Linux-centric environment, predominantly operating on Kubernetes.
Outside of the professional sphere, I find joy in various activities such as playing video games, spending time with friends, indulging in anime and movies, and hitting the gym, where I explore the realms of Powerlifting and Strongman. My curiosity doesn't end there; I take pleasure in constantly acquiring new knowledge. When I find some spare time I enjoy working on some side projects to solve issues which you can explore below.
